I have a string in the form,

var k= '<html><div id="test">it is interesting</div></html>',

I am trying to convert this in to an array of form

<html>
<div id="test">
it
is
interesting
</div>
</html>

I am using Javascript to perform this task. I could use the split function a detect the space in between words to split the string, but how do I split the HTML tag.

    var k='<html><div id="test">it is interesting</div></html>';
var a=k.match(/(<.+?>)|([^ ]+?(?=[ <]))/g);
console.log(a); // ["<html>", "<div id="test">", "it", "is", "interesting", "</div>", "</html>"]

    Update: If your string can contain substring "<>" (not valid in HTML) then try to use regular expression with minor changes: /(<.*?>)|([^ ]+?(?=[ <]))/g

    Update: If you need to interpret \n\r\t simbols (new line, carriage return, tab) as space try to use next regular expression: /(<.*?>)|(\S+?(?=[\s<]))/g (see also remark in above update about usage first * or +)

    var k,a,rg=/(<.*?>)|(\S+?(?=[\s<]))/g;

k='<html><div id="test"> it is interesting</div></html>';
a=k.match(rg);
console.log(a); // ["<html>", "<div id="test">", "it", "is", "interesting", "</div>", "</html>"]

k='<div class=\"Normal\" algoscore=\"338\">\n <p><img src=\"/getBinaryFile.php?Id=69\" /></p>\n';
a=k.match(rg);
console.log(a); // ["<div class="Normal" algoscore="338">", "<p>", "<img c="/getBinaryFile.php?Id=69" />", "</p>"]
